A small Jedi warning for your Monday


Question of the Day: What is your Monday morning theme song?

Thought of the Day: “Your eyes can deceive you; don’t trust them.” Obi-Wan Kenobi

Good Morning Reader,

Today is May the Fourth, aka Star Wars Day

Which makes this line feel a little more appropriate than usual.

“Your eyes can deceive you; don’t trust them.”

It’s easy to hear that and smile. It’s harder to actually live it.

We trust what we see without thinking twice. We build quick stories. We fill in gaps. And most of the time, we never go back to check if we got it right.

Today’s Thought of the Day sits with that. The space between what we see and what’s actually there.

You can read it here: Seeing Isn’t Always Believing

And then there’s the other side of the morning.

Before the day kicks in, before the noise picks up, there’s a small window where you get to set the tone.

So I’m curious.

What is your Monday morning theme song?

You can jump into that here: Press Play on Your Monday

No overthinking.

Just go with the first one that comes to mind.

May the Fourth be with you.

Talk tomorrow.

Stay Golden,
Ken

Question of the Day: How often do you take the stairs? Thought of the Day: We all have dreams we’ll never achieve. It’s best to forget them and move on. _________ Good Morning Reader, Today’s Thought of the Day begins with a line from Dr. Seuss: “Adults are obsolete children.” It sent me thinking about the things kids still seem to understand naturally. Wonder. Curiosity. Honesty. The ability to become completely absorbed in something small and ordinary. The post became a reflection on how...

Question of the Day: How often do you take the stairs? Thought of the Day: We all have dreams we’ll never achieve. It’s best to forget them and move on. _________ Good Morning Reader, Today’s Thought of the Day is about the dreams that stay with us, even after life changes shape around them. Not every dream comes true exactly the way we imagined it would. But some still leave fingerprints on who we become. Sometimes the dream matters less as a destination and more as a compass point. You can...

Question of the Day: How often do you choose convenience over calm? Thought of the Day: No earthquake can shatter a peaceful mind. _________ Good Morning Reader, Yesterday, I spent six hours driving with my daughter for a twenty minute doctor’s appointment. Technically, there was a faster option. But the faster option meant dragging a five year old through Midtown Manhattan chaos, and somewhere along the way I realized I would rather spend more time in the car and less time stressed out.
